A new and distinct cultivar of lemon plant named 'CE-D5-1-9-42', characterized by nearly seedless fruit, early fruiting, and high fruit production. Additionally, the new lemon cultivar also is compatible with trifoliate orange rootstocks, unlike most lemon varieties. This new cultivar has high quality fresh fruit, as well as juice, peel oil, and other lemon by-products viable for processing. Further, given the new lemon cultivar's good HLB tolerance typical of lemons, and its near seedlessness, this new cultivar may have significant dooryard tree potential.

A new and distinct seedless, easy to peel mandarin hybrid, named 'RES 19-56', with a unique clustered fruit bearing habit that can appeal to citrus hobbyists as an ornamental, but that also has shown potential value for premium early season fresh market production by CUPS or othergrowers. Has shown the ability to set large numbers of parthenocarpic fruit in the CUPS production system. These clusters sometimes number 15 or more fruit, having many more than fruit per cluster than other seedless mandarin hybrids.
